BRMS: How to check which tapes were used by one lpar in last nights backup?

Since moving to VTL we decided to use the capability to save to multiple
drives at once.
So we changed our WRKCTLGBRM to say
Parallel device resources:
Minimum resources . . . . . . . . . . 5
Maximum resources . . . . . . . . . . *MIN
And, while that is running our VTL would show 5 'tapes' in the 'drives'.

However, using BRMS, how do I tell what tapes were used?

The save goes over midnight. So looking for tapes from that lpar with a
particular date doesn't separate the backup.

I tried 6=Work with serial set. That only seems applicable if you are
doing a save to a single drive and it spans multiple volumes. I fail to
see an option to work with a parallel set.

If I was doing a full system restore I could just get the BRMS report for
what tapes were needed. But I just want to know what was used last night
and it wasn't a full system save.
